Recipe: Filipino Spaghetti

I love pasta. My favorite is Filipino spaghetti. It's a sweet spaghetti with hot dogs. I make it every once in a while and it's always gone within hours. This last time I made a couple of pounds and it still disappeared.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of spaghetti
• 1 can/jar of sauce
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 onion
• 1 lb of ground need
• 1/2 lb of hot dogs
• 1 jar of banana sauce
• 1/8 cup of sugar
• 1/4 cup of water
• Dash of Tabasco (optional)

1. Make your spaghetti as told to by the instructions on the box. Drain and leave in sink.
2. Using same pan, pour in some olive oil, chopped onions and chopped garlic.
3. Once the onions are translucent, throw in the ground beef.
4. Brown the ground beef, season with salt and pepper.
5. Pour in spaghetti sauce, sugar, water and banana sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Add in hot dogs and the dash of Tabasco sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
7. Serve over the spaghetti.

(This is the banana sauce. I normally use a jar that's about 15 oz and not hot. If you do grab hot, don't add the dash of Tabasco at the end of the recipe.)

Some people make it with ground pork as well. I don't, but you can. If it's too spicy, add a little but more sugar. If it's too sweet, add a little bit more hot sauce.
